Has Enes Kanter Freedom’s outspoken nature landed him in another big mess? It sure seems like that is the case as his own native country, Turkey is leaving no stone unturned in portraying him as negatively as possible.
Now for those of you who are not aware of the misery Enes Kanter Freedom is currently through – let me make you make aware of it. The Turkish government has just a bounty of half a million US dollars on Freedom’s head after placing him on the nation’s infamous Most Wanted list. Now, this list is not ordinary but is reserved for the most gruesome of criminals, and apparently, Turkey has labeled Enes as one.
While one might be shocked to their core to see their name pop up in the Most Wanted list in such a chilling manner, Enes Kanter Freedom is in no mood to hand the initiative to the Turkish Government after this mind play as he took to Instagram to reveal his emotions.
“Come and get it @rterdogan , Wanna waste half a million? Be my guest,” Enes wrote in his caption, addressing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
As you make can see, Kanter didn’t just call out the Turkish President but even challenged him to try his chances of harming the former NBA star. It might seem courageous but the entire basketball world has been shocked as to why Turkey has placed him on the Most Wanted list.
This notion has come when Kanter had been beefing with the Turkish government for many years now. Turkey even revoked his citizenship prior to this move.
